2. SEXUALLY HIERARCHIZED WORLD: This distinction between man and woman is clearly
visible in the sexually hierarchized world where the importance of a person is established
by the sex (gender) of their bodies.
Where definitely we can see at the peak the man and at the last place the woman.
This unfortunately affects all the sectors of human life with a huge disadvantage for women.
As Bourdieu quotes in his text (1998): “"The structure imposes its constrains on the two
terms of the relationship, and therefore on the dominant themselves, who can benefit from
it while being, in Marx's phrase, 'dominated by their domination"
(Bourdieu, 1998, p. 69)”
